🤖 META IS NOW TRACKING EMPLOYEE KEYSTROKES & MOUSE MOVEMENTS 🤖

Yes, you read that right. Meta is installing tracking software on U.S. employee computers to capture clicks, mouse movements, and even screen snapshots—all to train AI models. 😳💻

Here’s what you need to know:
1️⃣ 🖱️ What’s Being Tracked: Keystrokes, mouse movements, clicks, and occasional screen snapshots while using work apps and websites.
2️⃣ 🤖 Why: To train AI agents that can autonomously perform work tasks—like navigating dropdown menus and using keyboard shortcuts.
3️⃣ 🛡️ The Fine Print: Meta says data will NOT be used for performance reviews. Safeguards are in place, but specifics on excluded data are vague.
4️⃣ 🌍 Legal Concerns: Experts warn this would likely violate EU privacy laws (GDPR). In the U.S.? No federal limits on worker surveillance.
5️⃣ ✂️ Bigger Picture: Part of Meta’s AI workforce overhaul—including 10% global layoffs starting May 20 and a push for employees to use AI agents for daily tasks.

Welcome to the future of white-collar surveillance. 😬
